The United States' support of Israel is built on faulty principles and is hurting the country's foreign policy, evangelical Anglican pastor and London author Stephen Sizer said in a talk on April 28 at Seattle Pacific University called "Christian Zionism: What is it? Its history, theology and political impact on the world today."

He said that the United States has offered unwavering support to Israel mostly due to the prevalence of Christian Zionism, or Christians who support the modern political state of Israel, who negatively view Arabs. "This theology is impacting attitudes and opinions in the Middle East," he said. There is a view that God is blessing America because the nation is helping Israel, he said, resulting in the demonizing of Islam and the characterization of Arabs as dogs and liars. Giving Israel a geographic homeland in the region may not be the correct fulfillment of God's Old Testament promise to Israel, he said.
